Leica M4/ 90mm Elmar / Tri-X / D76
We shot this at night, after dark. The subject, an author, wanted an early morning, sunlit, casual, friendly and inviting look.

Totally convincing!
I literally had about 3 mins to shoot this as she was checking out of a resort and before she got in a cab for the airport. So, the plan went bye-bye and I grabbed what I could in the time available. One light and a prayer...
Please feel free to critique any and all of my photos so I can get get better.

Wow! That is an amazing image from a compact camera. No blown highlights in the windows, nice tonal gradation, I seriously thought this was medium format film when I first saw it..
